Smart signals in place, NMC begins installing AI-powered speed radars, ETInfra
Advt Advt The first phase of the ₹197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) project underway, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), through implementing agency Keltron, has now begun deploying AI-powered speed radar systems on the city's major roads. This comes after Keltron completed integration of IITMS at 10 of the 171 identified traffic junctions in the pilot installation of the speed radar system was completed on the busy Omkar Nagar Square–Manewada Square with radar sensors, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras, and high-intensity strobe flash units, the system is capable of detecting over speeding vehicles in real-time, capturing licence plates, and instantly transmitting data to the city's traffic control command centre "The radar system was successfully calibrated and integrated. Once a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the system triggers the camera to capture high-resolution images of the number plate, even at night," said a senior Keltron AI-powered enforcement system is a major upgrade under the IITMS project, which aims to modernise traffic management , improve road safety, and bring down accident rates in the radar unit on the Omkar Nagar–Manewada stretch is the first of many planned across 32 major roads, where traffic volume and speeding are key concerns. At some junctions or routes, multiple radar units will be installed to cover both sides of the parallel, Keltron has also initiated the conversion of 50 traffic intersections under IITMS. This includes the installation of smart traffic signals , vehicle actuated systems, surveillance cameras, and real-time traffic data integration at each junction.

No NMC nod, Keltron says smart traffic project may hit roadblock
Nagpur: The Rs197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) project has run into rough weather as it awaits Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) approval nearly six months after the plan was submitted. In a formal representation to CM Devendra Fadnavis during his visit to the city on Sunday, system integrator Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (Keltron) which is implementing the project in collaboration with Nagpur police, flagged multiple procedural lapses, accusing the NMC of violating key tender conditions by not issuing the required approvals jeopardising the entire smart traffic initiative. NMC executive engineer (electrical) Rajendra Rathore confirmed that the department has not yet cleared the plan. "The approval will be granted once the pilot project report is submitted," he said. According to Keltron, IITMS project work order was issued on October 11, 2024, and it submitted a formal communication on October 18 seeking to initiate the process followed by a meeting on November 14. After initial surveys and groundwork, Keltron submitted the inception report and the complete project plan to NMC on January 1, 2025. As per the tender terms, NMC was expected to approve the project plan within 1.5 months of signing the contract. However, Keltron pointed out that instead of granting formal approval, NMC only issued a provisional go-ahead for implementation at select pilot junctions on March 27. "Despite the absence of a formal project plan approval, we were instructed to execute a pilot phase which was never part of the original contract," Keltron stated. It proceeded with pilot works from March 30, deploying manpower, machinery, and resources at its own risk. Due to a lack of official approval, Keltron stated it was unable to raise invoices for 5% of the agreed capital expenditure, resulting in financial stress. "Product vendors are now pressuring us to accept deliveries. But without project approval, we are stuck. The situation is becoming untenable," Keltron mentioned in its letter to the CM. Keltron has urged the state govt to intervene and direct NMC to expedite pending approvals, warning that any further delay could stall the project completely. The IITMS project is expected to modernise Nagpur's traffic systems through adaptive traffic signals, high-definition surveillance, and centralised command control. However, without NMC's clearance, Keltron says the city's vision for a smart, efficient traffic network hangs in the balance.

IITMS pilot signals fail to deliver promised results
1 2 3 4 5 6 Nagpur: The much-anticipated Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) in Nagpur has failed to deliver the expected results. Although the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) initially announced the pilot's launch by June 15, it has now pushed the date further to June 25, following repeated glitches in system performance during test runs. As part of the pilot, the civic body installed new traffic signals and high-resolution cameras at 10 major junctions across the city to test the core features of the Rs 197-crore state-funded IITMS project. These junctions were equipped with modern signal systems, surveillance units, and electronic infrastructure meant to streamline traffic flow, monitor violations, and reduce congestion. "However, the early outcomes have been far from encouraging. The signals and surveillance network are not functioning reliably. After the hardware was installed, communication and coordination issues between the signals, control room, and field devices prevented the system from operating seamlessly," confirmed a senior NMC official privy to the development. NMC has formally communicated its dissatisfaction to the contractor responsible for the implementation. The city traffic police too have flagged multiple concerns, ranging from erratic signal synchronisation to system lags in transmitting real-time data to the control room. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In response, the implementing company has been directed to address the technical shortcomings without further delay. The IITMS, once fully operational, is expected to offer multiple benefits — including adaptive traffic signalling, violation detection, real-time CCTV surveillance, and integration with the city police and NMC control rooms. The system's biggest promise lies in its ability to automatically detect violations such as red-light jumping, helmetless riding, and speeding, while also helping to manage peak-hour congestion. Despite these ambitious goals, the on-ground situation tells a different story. The pilot project, which should have been a showcase for smart traffic management, has instead become a point of concern for authorities already battling public criticism over rising violations and worsening traffic conditions. According to sources, the electric department has also raised concerns over technical integration and electricity supply stability, which are affecting signal performance. Meanwhile, messages and displays on the new signal poles have attracted public curiosity, but the system itself remains non-functional.
